Actress and adult entertainment consultant, Seyi Hunter, has spoken about Nigeria’s complex relationship with sexuality, arguing that many Nigerians consume sexual content in private despite publicly acting otherwise.
Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats, Hunter said, “I won’t call it hypocrisy; I’ll say Nigerians are private people. It’s like most of us (not me) are living double lives. People often feel the need to present themselves in ways that align with societal or religious expectations, even when their private interests are different.
“There’s a reason we are always topping charts on porn sites, but nobody admits they watch them. Before I lost my first Sinful Friday channel on Xvideos, it had over a billion views. Who was watching? People pretend a lot, but Gen Z are breaking that stereotype,” she said.
Speaking on whether more open conversations about intimacy could help couples build stronger relationships, Hunter said communication is key to sexual compatibility.
“If you are sexually compatible with your partner, all you need is communication to get the ball rolling. Always let your partner know what you want, and always explore. Fifty per cent of sex and intimacy is communication. Even if there’s a deeper issue, you’ll never know without communication,” she said.
Reflecting on her personal experiences, Hunter added that attraction alone does not always guarantee compatibility in a relationship.
“I dated someone I liked, but every time he touched me, it felt like he was using pins on my skin,” she added.
